Exhaust Cut Outs Give Your Vehicle a Split Personality

I’ve installed not one, but 2 exhaust cut outs on my #FairmontProject. The first cut out didn’t work out as well as I’d hoped. The second cut out, which I install in this video, worked out much better.
I will be making a video about the wiring and switch installation at a later date. Like I said in the video though, it’s really not difficult. All you need is power, ground, and a place to mount the switch. The rest is covered in this video.

You know what Eric, I was just thinking to myself that in order to be a successful youtube video blogger such as yourself you need to humble and be able to have thick skin. I've noticed that you've handled criticism very well and haven't fed the trolls or stooped to a level such as them. Now I'm not calling everyone that has an issue with your video or disagrees with you a troll but there are times when people get rude and downright disrespectful and you haven't given them a soapbox. To me, being able to remain professional, respectful and calm when being criticized is a very important key for success. And I think people need to take note of this and see why he's amassed such a loyal following. When compared to all the other guys that were on the pull-a-part challenge I think Eric gets the most amount of criticism and I believe he handles it exceptionally well.

Just a small tip when splicing wires stagger them. This will keep the bulk out and keep the wires tighter together. Especially if you have to feed the wires through grommets or tight spaces. Great job!!! I have cut outs too (Manual) on my vette I need electric cutouts now!!!

@wobblysauce 5 лет назад

@Maoushin 5 лет назад

Another small tip or at least confirmation of theory there is a very good reason for crimping and splicing opposed to soldering. Soldering creates a hard contact point that the vibration of vehicles can cause rapid failure of the wiring. The crimps allow to wire to maintain flexibility so the vibration has less of an impact.

@JOSHUAALLEN28 5 лет назад

The splice should have been inside the vehicle to keep it out of the weather/vibration.

@ericthecarguy 5 лет назад

Great suggestion.

@turboflush 5 лет назад

@@ericthecarguy Your splice is fine.. especially for what it is for. I reserve solder for splicing a wire on something critical. At connector.. use new OEM crimp terminal. If to much solder is allowed to flow into wire.. yes it can travel up the wire and make it "brittle". This also has to do with the amount of flux. A little goes very far.

@Mo5005 5 лет назад

I agree, I'm all about crimping. I used to use the ones you shown in the video, but found that I had better success with using non-insulated butt connectors and then following it up with marine grade heat shrink tubing. the benefit of marine grade heat shrink tuning is that it is lined with adhesive, which provides a weatherproof seal to your connection.

Look at your states vehicle laws. Most have it somewhere in them that modification of the exhaust to increase the noise level is illegal, many specifically say that exhaust cut-outs and straight pipes are prohibited. Here are 3 examples of the 49 states that have restrictions. The only state that doesn't list them is Vermont Alabama - Code Title 32. Motor Vehicles and Traffic. § 32-5-216 (a) Every motor vehicle shall at all times be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and annoying smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, bypass, a muffler without baffles, or similar device upon a motor vehicle on a highway. Illinois - Sec. 12-602. Mufflers, prevention of noise. Every motor vehicle driven or operated upon the highways of this State shall at all times be equipped with an adequate muffler or exhaust system in constant operation and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual noise. No such muffler or exhaust system shall be equipped with a cutout, bypass or similar device. No person shall modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise of such vehicle above that emitted by the muffler originally installed on the vehicle, and such original muffler shall comply with all the requirements of this Section. North Carolina - (b) It shall be unlawful to use a “muffler cut-out” on any motor vehicle upon a highway.

@someone972s 5 лет назад

That race ready cutout opens pretty fast for that style. My QTP cutout of the same style takes a few seconds to open. However the additional gear reduction in the QTP also seems to keep it shut under load which it sounds like the race ready one might have issues with based on when you said that it opens slightly if you get on it. I've also experienced the pain of making a turndown fit the cutout bolt pattern, where I ended up taking a 3" hole saw to the block-off plate that came with my y-pipe.

Had a similar mod on my old Silvia. Was great when sitting in traffic or leaving a quiet neighbourhood at night. It was more a valve in the exhaust that opened and closed which basically had it sit on an angle depending on how loud you wanted it. 1st-quiet af, more than halfway closed 2nd-slightly louder than 1st. 3rd-fully open straight pipe sound.

I have a vacuum powered cutout and it's A LOT more reliable than standard QTP style cutouts as it uses air to push it open and closed. The first and second motors in the electric cutout that I used to have burned out in maybe a month or two while this new vacuum powered cutout hasn't missed a beat for several months. Plus, it doesn't leak nearly as much and even better, it was only around $100 off Amazon.

What an interesting design! I've been told that when older motorcycles are switched to an open exhaust, those old fixed carb jets need to be adjusted to compensate for the change in exhaust backpressure. In any car made in the past 30 years, fuel air ratios are adjusted automatically by feedback from upstream oxygen sensors. It would be interesting to watch how fuel air ratios change from open to closed exhaust, though I assume that won't be possible in the Fairmont. Nice job. Stay dirty, Eric!

Greetings, Videos! German car tuners that build exhaust cutouts that actually bypass the last muffler (not the middle one[s]) and that works in such a way that the exhaust still exits through the same tailpipe, so there is an actual bypass that it gets routed around the muffler and back into the exhaust pipe.

@cryoburned 5 лет назад

I would have done a lot of things different but I cant knock you for trying, and I really like how you teach people how you do stuff. I'm a qualified diesel mechanic myself and I also do alot of electrical work. A bit of advice, dont twist the wires before you put them into the connectors you want them to actually crimp with the plug, when they're twisted it doesnt grab as good. I prefer solder but that's just me.

@michaelriddle134 5 лет назад

They leak for a few reasons: no gasket on the butterfly valve and high pressure due to the Y joint always putting exhaust flow into the closed valve. You could theoretically help a LOT with leakage by having a valve with a gasket and/or also having the valve built into the Y splitter at an angle so that when it's closed the air is routed down the exhaust path better... I wonder how much back pressure is being added to the exhaust when the valve is closed due to reflection off the valve.

@ericthecarguy 5 лет назад

I think you'd melt the gasket the first time you got on it with the vale open. Honestly, you don't really notice it much, but I did feel it was worth mentioning. Thanks for the comment.

I put the same style of cut outs on my car and I love em. The one thing I did different with my exhaust was, When my cut outs are open my exhaust comes straight out of the headers 3” all the way with and 18” pipe extension and my exhaust pipe/muffler Y’s off with the 2.5”. I mean who cares if there is another bend in the exhaust pipe but when I want to race I want the exhaust coming straight out. I wish I could post a picture off what I had done. It was all custom built. It’s beautiful

Solder vs. crimp: The Holley folks have a video(s) out there that goes in depth about why crimp is better than solder in most automotive applications.

If you do it right, it doesn't matter what method you use. They both have pros and cons

@wobblysauce 5 лет назад

That is why you have similar joiners like Eric used that crimp then heat up for solder flow and waterproofs with the glue+ heatshrinks at the same time...

Anti seize of some kind?

@harryconover289 5 лет назад

I have done both and in the worst condition wiring on heavy duty very leaky hydraulic hammer lots of vibration hot the crimp type slipped apart but I youse the crimp type now it’s important to rich the right pressure so a Ratchet type crimp-per is needed this and good quality connectors and your set !

@oliverwatson1567 5 лет назад

I normally solder and then use at least 3 layers of heat shrink to stop the joint from flexing too much. To waterproof it, use heat shrink that has glue or put hot glue under the heat shrink right before heating it

I would be interested in a video that was compiled solely of sound clips from his car. Valve open, valve closed, waste gate opening, blow off valve if he has one. Any and all of it.

I had some cutouts on my 1964 GTO convertible with a 421 Super Duty engine. I built my own that used choke cables. turned a beast into a real monster!!! that was in 1971!
